The paper presents a set of experiments on pathological voice detection over the Saarbrücken Voice Database (SVD) by using the MultiFocal toolkit for a discriminative calibration and fusion. The SVD is freely available online containing a collection of voice recordings of different pathologies, including both functional and organic. A generative Gaussian mixture model trained with mel-frequency cepstral coefficients, harmonics-to-noise ratio, normalized noise energy and glottal-to-noise excitation ratio, is used as classifier. Scores are calibrated to increase performance at the desired operating point. Finally, the fusion of different recordings for each speaker, in which vowels /a/, /i/ and /u/ are pronounced with normal, low, high, and low-high-low intonations, offers a great increase in the performance. Results are compared with the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary (MEEI) database, which makes possible to see that SVD is much more challenging.
